Embodiment Construction

[0021]Specific details are provided in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments. However, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that embodiments may be practiced without these specific details For example, systems may be shown in block diagrams so as not to obscure the embodiments in unnecessary detail. In other instances, well-known processes, structures and techniques may be shown without unnecessary detail in order to avoid obscuring embodiments.

[0022]Although a flow chart may describe the operations as a sequential process, many of the operations may be performed in parallel, concurrently or simultaneously. In addition, the order of the operations may be re-arranged. A process may be terminated when its operations are completed, but may also have additional steps not included in the figure. A process may correspond to a method, function, procedure, subroutine, subprogram, etc. When a process corresponds to a function, its t...

Abstract

A traffic control system and a method of automatic zone creation for a smart traffic camera to be used in adaptive traffic management at an intersection are disclosed. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes receiving traffic data at an intersection; creating zones at the intersection to be applied to one or more smart traffic cameras installed at the intersection; determining whether the zones are to be validated; validating the zones upon determining that the zones are to be validated; and applying the validated zones to the one or more smart traffic cameras at the intersection.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 545,268 filed on Aug. 14, 2017, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUNDField Of The Disclosure[0002]The present disclosure is generally related to traffic control systems, and more particularly related to adaptive traffic management at an intersection through automatic creation and management of detection zones.Description of the Related Art[0003]Control of vehicular traffic on roads is essential for transportation of persons and goods. Typically, the vehicular traffic is managed by traffic control systems. Generally, traffic signals, comprising different color and / or shapes of lights, are mounted on poles or span wires at the intersection. These traffic signals are used to regulate the movement of traffic through the intersection by turning on and off their different signal lights. These signals, together with the equipment t...
